Mama…

 Yan Susu shut her eyes, and when she opened them again, all was quiet and peaceful.

 She took the access card, changed her clothes, and left without a word.

 That was it. As long as she still loved Ling Xiusi and as long as she still needed his help to locate her mother, she would never be able to escape his torture!

 “Where are you going?” Watching Yan Susu as she silently prepared to depart, Ling Xiusi began to worry that she might throw caution to the wind and just give it all up.

 “To do your bidding.”

 “I’ll send you there!”

 “No need.”

 “I don’t want you sneaking away again the way you did earlier.”

 At that, Yan Susu sniggered, deriding herself for her wishful thinking…

 “Drink this.” Ling Xiusi gave her a bottle of spiked liquid.

 At least it would be more bearable if she was in a state of semi-consciousness…

 Without asking, Yan Susu drank it all.

 Smoking his cigarette in silence, Ling Xiusi did not utter another word.

 When she arrived at the Imperial, Yan Susu opened the car door and alighted, her heart overflowing with misery.

 To think that she had been stupidly hanging on to that last shred of hope; that Ling Xiusi would have a change of heart…

 Taking out her phone, she dialed a number. “Is this Mrs. Li? I have evidence of your husband’s indiscretion. If you promise to give your latest project to Ling Enterprise, I will present the proof to you on a silver platter…Okay, room 666 at the Imperial Hotel. Come over right away.”

 Yan Susu was so focused on her call that she bumped directly into a woman walking towards her and dropped her phone and access card.

 “Watch where you’re going, will you? Don’t you have eyes?” The woman rebuked her irritably, picking up her access card and walking off in a huff.

 Sighing, Yan Susu picked up her own access card.

 However, when she arrived at room 666, she could not get the door open, even after several swipes. It was only upon inspecting the card closely that she realized that it was 999. She could not help but curse herself under her breath for getting the room number wrong.

 Massaging her throbbing head, she let herself into room 999.

 However, she quickly became aware that something was not right. She felt hotter and hotter, and her mind was getting foggier and foggier.

 By the time she decided to leave the room, it was too late.

 Ling Xiusi had spiked her drink, that heartless…

 …

 Lu Zhanxiu opened the door to the room. Feeling irritated, he took off his tie.

 Those guys were taking it too far, taking turns to try and get him drunk.

 It was only after a soothing bath that he felt better.

 However, his irritation returned when he became aware of Yan Susu’s presence.

 Those guys had been left unmanaged for too long!

 Very quickly, however, he realized that something was amiss.

 Amazing! Why did he not feel repulsed by Yan Susu?

 Could it be that this woman was really someone special?
